A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

Chapter 7 The cowardly mushroom has grown bold! She dares to insult him!

Compared to the zombies' existential crisis, Meng Xiaoyou was very happy because she was able to hide food in the bubbles. Although she hid very little, how could it not be considered a gain?

Meng Xiaoyou thought that it would be so convenient to be able to store things in the apocalypse. She was currently living a life of plenty thanks to human men, but she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't encounter any emergencies. It would be good to keep her personal belongings in her spatial storage just in case.

It's much better than a useless ability like hearing zombies' thoughts.

But what exactly caused this superpower to appear?

The timid mushroom's small face was filled with great confusion, just like the zombie beside her.

[One bite? One bite?]

One bite?

Oh oh!

Meng Xiaoyou quickly returned the Snickers bar to him, and the zombie pounced on it, quickly finishing off the remaining Snickers bar.

Meng Xiaoyou's bubble space has grown a little bigger.

Could it be that her superpowers were enhanced by fulfilling the desires of zombies?

Otherwise, how can it be explained?

The zombie, still not satisfied after finishing its meal, stared at her with its almost ulcerated eye sockets.

Honestly, the zombies looked really creepy. Meng Xiaoyou was a little scared and tried to negotiate with it, "Do you want to eat your fill in one meal or every meal?"

Regardless, her superpower is definitely related to zombies. Let's deal with this dangerous guy first, and then study him slowly.

[Of course, we should eat our fill every meal!] The lame zombie isn't stupid.

Mushroom's hands trembled. "So, if you want to eat your fill every day, you can't eat me. I'll bring you delicious food from now on, but if you mess with me, you won't be able to eat Snickers next time."

That makes sense, given the zombies' clumsy thinking.

If you don't want to eat, then don't.

"What good is it if you don't eat? If I get eaten by other zombies, you won't get any good food either, so you have to protect me."

The zombie was dumbfounded. No, it was already a great kindness that it didn't bite the human, so why should it protect her?

Seeing that the zombies were unwilling, the cowardly mushroom was a little disappointed: "Fine, if they won't help, they won't help. Anyway, the other zombies might not actually eat me. I can make a deal with them."

She stood up, dusted herself off, and made as if to leave.

The zombies panicked and roared behind her.

"roar~"

"I promise, I'll help you."

Meng Xiaoyou, who had been quietly clenching her fingers, breathed a sigh of relief. "Could you help me find someone? I'm worried he might be in danger. It's the guy who stepped on you yesterday."

Zombie: "...Roar!"

It holds grudges. What could possibly happen to that guy? A few zombies are enough for him to step on.

Even after his ashes were scattered, he was still alive and kicking.

"Don't curse him in your heart." Meng Xiaoyou heard the zombie's inner monologue and, disgusted by its filth, squatted down, picked up a small stone, and threw it at the zombie.

Perhaps realizing that the lame zombie posed no danger, the cowardly mushroom began to act arrogantly; in the past, she would never have dared to provoke a zombie.

The lame zombie didn't care about such trivial matters. It walked on its kneecaps, making a series of thumping sounds. Meng Xiaoyou followed furtively behind it, keeping her eyes and ears open, afraid of encountering a zombie somewhere.

Y City is underdeveloped. With the arrival of the apocalypse, many people realized something was wrong and hid in the suburbs. So, apart from specific locations such as large supermarkets, hospitals, parks, and squares, there weren't many zombies in other places. The occasional zombies that did appear were warned by the lame zombie, allowing Meng Xiaoyou to avoid them in advance.

At this moment, Pei Sinian was unaware that the troublesome food reserves at home had slipped out, and he was enslaving newly zombified zombies to help him find meat.

The grain reserves are too meager; they need to be fed some meat and properly nourished.

Most supermarkets were emptied by people with superpowers, but the cold storage room of this large supermarket remained untouched. After all, these people were on the run and would take whatever food was convenient for them, and they couldn't possibly eat all the frozen goods in the cold storage room.

The cold storage room has a backup power supply. Several zombies are lined up, each carrying two bags of frozen meat, and one is carrying a small refrigerator.

Pei Sinian's tall figure stood against the light at the doorway, listening to the zombies' reports. He nodded slightly, his thin lips parted, and a low growl, similar to that of a zombie, came from his throat.

He disliked the sounds of zombies, so he rarely made a sound. Apart from his pale skin and gray eyes, he was not much different from a human.

The zombies obeyed his command and followed him out.

Suddenly, a familiar, sweet aroma wafted from afar, reaching the zombies' sensitive nostrils, and they began to stir.

Pei Sinian paused, releasing his control over the zombies.

A familiar, startled cry came from ahead: "Hey! There are zombies behind you! Run!"

people?

Pei Sinian coolly lifted his eyelids. Who is a person?

Not only did the grain reserves escape, but they even insulted him as a human being!

Before Pei Sinian could react, her fragrance grew closer and closer, and a series of bubbles sprayed into the air, deliberately avoiding Pei Sinian, bombarding the zombies behind him.

Pei Sinian's palm softened as a soft, boneless little hand slipped inside and pulled him along.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged. Meng Xiaoyou stood still, her clear eyes filled with a hint of doubt and tension. "Run?"

The zombies were all intimidated by the bubbles and only had a minute or two to run away. Even the mushrooms knew to pull up the white pole and run, but this person... no, why is this person just standing there?

She used all her strength, like someone gnawing on fertilizer, and pulled desperately with both hands gripping his large palms.

Finally, the man moved. He moved slowly, with a lazy yet relaxed demeanor, which made the timid mushroom anxious.

She'd gotten bolder, yelling at people, "You big idiot, can't you walk faster? What if the zombies catch up?"

However, Meng Xiaoyou fell silent when she saw the zombies behind her.

This generation of zombies isn't very good; they've just turned into zombies, and they walk very slowly, like a group of snails crawling along, even slower than human males.

If it weren't for their ashen faces, rotting flesh, swollen pupils, and bloody fangs, Meng Xiaoyou would have almost suspected they were a group of elderly people whose bodies were about to fall apart.

With no major danger, Meng Xiaoyou's tense nerves relaxed, but she was still anxious and hurriedly pulled the man home.

Pei Sinian silently let her lead him. The zombie was like an emotionless puppet, surrounded by darkness, which told him that the food reserves had been used on other useless zombies.

A layer of frost clouded his brows, and a chilling indifference permeated his lowered eyes.

Meng Xiaoyou shivered from the cold, her senses running high the whole way. Following the direction the lame zombie pointed, she avoided the zombies and headed home. When she reached the door, she suddenly ran into a problem: "The key!"

Someone kindly used a U-lock to lock the mushroom inside.

A chill ran down her spine. Meng Xiaoyou felt something was wrong and turned around in fright. She quickly let go of his hand.

Pei Sinian's tall figure completely enveloped Mushroom's petite body in shadow.

His features were sharply defined, and his eyes, barely visible behind his glasses, were gray and cold. Not to mention his handsome face, which somehow appeared dark against a pale white background.

Meng Xiaoyou's heart pounded. She took two steps back, her tense back pressed against the door, and her voice was barely audible. "Wh...what are you doing? I only sneaked out because I was worried about you. Look, if I hadn't shown up and you couldn't see me, you would have been eaten by those zombies."

Despicable humans, they don't appreciate the good in nature.

Pei Sinian's pale lips moved slightly.

Meng Xiaoyou covered her head and quietly pricked up her ears, "What did you say?"
